Lila: Name (noun) / pronounced lee-la

Meaning – ‘GOD at play’; the activity of the supreme being unencumbered by laws. LILA® is a conceptualism of the universe as a playground of the gods. The supreme being changing itself to human form to come to earth to experience movement, sport and play.

WE’VE GONE ABOUT AS FAR AS WE CAN GO WITH TRADITIONAL EXERCISE EQUIPMENT.

NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF ALL INVENTION

The truth is if you are attached to a piece of equipment and that equipment is heavy, cumbersome or attached to something, a machine, the floor, a wall, then the equipment will define your movement. Traditional equipment still serves a very important training purpose, that purpose is just limited.

These limitations are what drove us on a decade long journey to create a technology that would help to change the way we train and the way we think about training. The challenges were huge.

CHALLENGE #1: IT HAS TO BE SPECIFIC

Training must match the physiological, psychological and environmental demands of your sport or activity.

A squat will make your legs strong but it won’t necessarily improve your multi-directional speed in reaction to an opponent or reduce your 10k run time.

How many times have we tried to mimic a sporting activity with a piece of equipment that negatively changed the activity pattern we were trying to improve? Picture the simple sequence of the running stride in all its sport-related forms

CHALLENGE #2: IT HAS TO BE INDIVIDUAL

Like the human body, training technology must continue to become more ORGANIC – which by definition means – adaptable to the individual and its environment.

No two people and no two sports are the same. Our technology needs to reflect this. The ability to individualize a training program for the person and their activity is paramount to improving performance.

Equipment often forces the user to adapt to it. EXOGEN® offers each user a loading profile that is 100% unique to their sport, position, anatomical strengths and weaknesses, training age, gender, injury and performance status.

CHALLENGE #3: IT MUST ALLOW PROGRESSION

Progressive overload is the foundation of periodization.

Current technology offers progression in increments difficult to quantify and often way outside a range that is relevant to actual sport performance.
